The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 496: Star Shepherd

……

"I do not need!"

Sif said firmly.

Her eyes beneath the dark red cloak glowed with an extremely sharp red light:

“You just have to do your job.”

talking.

She ignored Lutizia's playful smile and walked quickly to the trapped Ancient Leader.

now.

This old man named Guda had had all his metal components and shells removed by them using various means.

Only the core spirit of its space essence is exposed.

In addition to the dual constraints of magic and physics.

Guda also faces the constant absorption of energy by ghosts and evil spirits.

Replace it with someone else.

Logically speaking, it should have been sucked dry long ago.

Guda looked the same.

But after observing for a while, Xifu found that every three or four minutes or so, this old man would fall into a state where his energy was sucked dry and his spirit was about to collapse.

This phenomenon usually lasts for more than ten seconds.

But soon.

He will slowly recover some of his energy to ensure the continuation of his spiritual form.

There really isn't much energy involved.

It is not enough for the hungry ghosts to absorb.

Therefore, after each round of recovery, which would take about three or four minutes, he would fall into a state of being on the verge of collapse again.

This cycle repeated itself countless times.

Guda always looked sick, as if he might die at any time.

But he never died.

Instead, the ghosts surrounding him gradually showed signs of being unable to absorb...

That moment.

A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Xifu's eyes:
"He is using the rules of dying to buy time?"

"Moreover, every time the ghost's energy absorption is interrupted by the near-death state, it needs extra energy to restart..."

"Cunning old man, at this rate, it may take three days and three nights to drain him dry!"

Lutetia was not surprised by this:

"Except for a few people, this old man may be the most powerful psychic practitioner in the multiverse."

"It's easy for him to avoid additional damage by actively controlling his dying state."

"I think he probably wants to hold out until reinforcements arrive."

Xifu snorted:
"So the attack on Tianxin Land was indeed a drama directed and acted by him?"

Lutetia shook her head.

"I don't know."

"The level of strife and chaos within Stuluk is no less than that of our Purgatory."

"I just sensed the approach of the Gray Spider Army - they had been unable to find the entrance to the Earth's core dreamland, but now they seem to be entering. Obviously, someone secretly sent them the coordinates and a signal for help..."

Sif understood.

The person seeking help can only be the old man in front of me.

"How many heavy weapons does Gray Spider have?"

"Will other troops come too?"

Sif's tone was slightly solemn.

Lutetia didn't care.
"Don't worry too much."

"The deployment of the singularity cannon needs to be done at least three days in advance. Other weapons either have difficulty reaching the Earth's core dreamland or cannot pose much of a threat to us."

"And I just set up more than thirty additional barriers on the outer layer of the Earth's Core Dream."

“Ordinary people can’t get in at all.”

"It would take several days for the Stuluk Industries troops to come in normally..."

Sif nodded slightly.

But her expression did not relax, instead it became even more tense.

It seemed that he noticed her abnormality.

Lutetia chuckled again:

"Matthew is certainly not an ordinary person."

"He will certainly be able to get in."

"so……"

She was just about to bring up the old matter again when the leader of the ancients in front of them suddenly opened his eyes.

I don’t know if it’s because the ghost sucked the elves too hard.

Master Guda's spirit shrank to the size of a child, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken, revealing an extremely obvious look of fatigue.

He sighed heavily:
"Purgatory has already taken over enough land, why are you always greedy?"

Lutetia directly retorted:
"The planet of Stuluk is vast enough. Why do you want to covet the main material world?"

"Also, why didn't you say that to the natives of this planet who were exterminated by you?"

Master Guda lowered his head slightly, with a look of compassion:
"When Stuluk Industries massacred the orcs on this planet, I tried my best to stop it, but unfortunately I failed to affect the overall situation. This is the sin we bear, and it should indeed be borne by our entire race."

“Of course this is all wrong.”

"Since it is wrong, it should be stopped and corrected. War is anti-civilization and is destined to be full of sin. There is no need for you to continue to bear new sins. Besides, there must be a party that takes the initiative to stop, right?"

Lutetia sneered:
"That sounds nice. At this point, you want us to stop on our own initiative?"

Guda sighed:
"Don't you want my life?"

"I am willing to use my life to buy the right of the Protoss to make a free choice."

"I don't expect you to let her go directly, I just hope you can let her make her own choice -

Join Purgatory.

Or not.

You can seduce her, bluff her, bribe her by any means short of force.

The only thing you cannot do is to coerce her with force.

As long as you can agree to this condition.

I can die immediately, no other words!"

Lutetia looked at the other person with a half-smile.

More than ten seconds passed.

She said bluntly:

"Don't be so hypocritical. The spirits of this planet have already reached the point of unconditional trust in you. What you lack is just one last chance to express yourself, right?"

"We've given you this opportunity, you won't hesitate any more, right?"

Hear this.

There was a gleam in Guda's eyes.

But he didn't say anything immediately.

Then Lutetia sneered:
"You and I both know that although you appear to be a psychic practitioner, you are actually a star shepherd."

"You must cultivate a Protoss yourself, or gain the unconditional trust of a Protoss and become her master."

“The former is simple, but takes a long time.”

"The latter is difficult, but it can be accomplished quickly. You can artificially create various difficulties to speed up the Star Spirits' reliance and trust in you."

"The reason why the Necrons chose the planet Stuluk was because you saw the potential of the Protoss on this planet, right?"

Guda remained silent.

But the hint of surprise in his eyes clearly revealed his true emotions.

"Although I don't know what kind of agreement you reached with the descendants of the empire, but during the conquest of the entire Stuluk, you did not show up, but hid behind the scenes and secretly manipulated everything. Your motives are clear at a glance."

"You have also successfully gained the deep trust of the Protoss."

Lutetia spoke very quickly.

As she spoke, she exuded an unquestionable confidence and authority:
"After the Great Rip, Stuluk was not supposed to be directly bordering Purgatory so quickly."

"It's just that someone is accelerating this."

"I think that person can only be you."

"You want to use the crisis from Purgatory to push the Protoss to completely throw themselves into your arms."

"You didn't do anything wrong. If you have to say there's a flaw, it's that you were too impatient..."

Guda looked at her steadily:
"So you know everything."

"The Blood Flag Kingdom's prophecy is so powerful?"

Lutetia smiled slightly:
"I just happened to know a few original-blooded Giza people who fled to Purgatory. From them, I happened to learn about a story about an evil person who stole the Giza people's psychic cultivation method, imprisoned them, and used their original-blood bodies to cultivate life energy."

"I know these ghosts can't drain your energy, but their existence makes you feel the pain that the people of Giza suffered."

"If my perception is correct, there are still life energies provided by at least thirteen original-blood Giza people hidden in your brain lobe, right?"

"These powers can restore you to your full potential at any time."

"So, there's no need to keep pretending in front of me. When it comes to evil, we devils should be inferior to you."

Lutetia's tone was very relaxed. But Master Guda cried with a sad expression when he heard it:

"I'm guilty!"

"I have killed too many people and have too many sins on my shoulders..."

"You have no idea what kind of pain I endure every day and night, and what kind of salvation I long for!"

His voice was choked with emotion.

Xifu frowned when she heard this:
"Since you know you are guilty, why do you still attempt to enslave the Star Spirits?"

Master Guda suddenly stood up, his face distorted violently, and his voice became extremely fanatical:

"You do not understand!"

"You evil devil, you don't even know the correct way to salvation!"

"It is precisely because I am guilty that I cannot die easily!"

"It is precisely because I carry endless sins that I need to live longer - live longer than everyone else, so that I can better atone for my sins!"

"It is precisely because I have done bad things that I need more and stronger power. Only in this way can I make up for my mistakes at some point in the future!"

"So not only can I not die, but I must live long and become powerful!"

"I have harmed too many lives on this planet, so I should be the guardian of the planet!"

"No one is more suitable than me!"

That moment.

A terrifying amount of spiritual energy suddenly burst out from Guda, who was as thin as a child.

He broke free from the restraints easily, and the ghosts approaching him were turned into ashes in an instant!

Followed by.

Guda's body swelled.

After just three or four seconds, it became as tall as the giantess who was the incarnation of the star spirit.

He hugged the giantess, who was covered in blood and blue light, tightly and shouted:
"I can't let you hurt the Star Spirits."

"I can't let you hurt Stuluk."

"As long as I am the guardian of this planet, no matter if you are a demon or a conqueror of the descendants of the empire, you will never be able to harm my dearest one!"

"Awaken!"

"The most beautiful stars in the world!"

"I will hold you in my arms, and we will never be apart again!"

Gradually.

Under the chanting of a series of strange prayers.

Guda's body actually slowly merged with the female giant who was about to wake up!
Then the huge spirit suddenly disappeared into the dreamland in the center of the earth.

Lutetia looked up suddenly:

"He went into hiding with the Star Spirit."

"He is even crazier than I thought. I thought he just wanted to follow the path of the Star Shepherd, but I didn't expect that he actually wanted to replace the Star Spirit itself..."

Xifu looked at the empty giant mountain range with a calm expression:

“That’s still in our plan.”

"Just find that old man and kill him, right?"

Lutetia was about to answer.

Available in the next second.

A huge hole suddenly appeared above their heads.

Countless single-person combat airships swarmed into the hole!

"He used the power of the Star Spirit to completely open the entrance to the dream world..."

Lutetia snorted:
"Want to use the power of the Gray Spider Sequence to stop us?"

"no way!"

"Since you desire disaster, I will do as you wish and make the disaster and war even more intense!"

The Blood Banner Queen opened her arms.

Suddenly.

The blood river that was originally entangled with the Protoss and now fell on the giant mountain range began to boil violently.

Followed by.

Tens of thousands of portals quickly formed above the Blood River.

Countless demons rushed in from the other end of the portal, many of them were good at flying, and they immediately started fighting head-on with the Necrons of the Gray Spider Army!

that's it.

A brutal war broke out without warning in the dreamland at the center of the earth.

Neither side is a rookie.

Therefore, the battle situation quickly escalated from the initial encounter to an extremely intense white-hot battle!

A huge roar echoed between the caves.

Countless black shadows passed back and forth in the sky, and from time to time, flesh and blood bodies or steel structures fell to the ground with a loud bang. Soon, there were patches of black or red marks on the ground!
Next to the mountains.

After opening the portal, Lutetia said:

"I'm going to find Guda."

"You continue to use the Iron Tree Heart to perform the Purgatory Conquest Ritual. Remember, you must take the last Dream Stone."

"As long as we get the Dream Stone, even if the Protoss has completely become Guda's private property, we can still reshape a brand new Protoss!"

Done.

Her figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Blood-red storms rose from all around the mountains.

Those were several legendary protective barriers that Lutetia left for Sif.

Sif stood inside the barrier, looking at the countless black shadows and bloody lights above her head, her eyes briefly out of focus.

She knew what was causing her unrest.

but now.

She obviously wasn't qualified to think that much.

All my efforts have been making their way towards success, and I must not let them go to waste because of those messy factors!
"let's start."

She seemed to be talking to herself.

Then he walked silently to the huge crucible.

now.

The iron tree hearts in the crucible have melted into part of the golden-red colloid.

Sif took a deep breath.

then.

She stretched out a palm and inserted it straight into the colloid.

Horrible burns immediately formed on the surface of her skin.

But she didn't feel any pain.

some.

Just endless delight!
"I am the daughter of Purgatory."

"The fire only makes me happier."

She whispered to herself.

next second.

She pulled her hand out of the colloid, a large amount of golden red juice slid down, and a slightly beating heart suddenly appeared in the palm of her hand!

"In the name of the Daughter of Purgatory."

"Summoning the official arrival of the Blood River of Purgatory."

"here……"

"It's purgatory!"

She chanted ancient devil language.

For a while.

Her body was also covered in endless black flames.

But at this moment.

The barrier left by Lutetia was suddenly hit by a series of fire attacks.

A hole quickly appeared in the weak point!
Followed by.

Sif saw a Necron army coming towards her.

Among them was a single-person spaceship that flew extremely fast.
